At least 70 people have been reported killed in flashfloods in Northern Mindanao triggered by tropical storm "Sendong". An Associated Press report quoting rescue team leader Lemuel Gunda said that at least 40 bodies were recovered in flood-hit areas in Cagayan de Oro City. Radio reports, meanwhile, said that at least 30 bodies have already been recovered in Iligan City as of 11 a.m. Three more people have been confirmed killed in Zamboanga del Norte, based on the report of the National Risk Reduction and Management Council. Several people have also been reported missing in the two cities in Northern Mindanao, including a radio broadcaster, who is a resident of Iligan City. Iligan City Mayor Lawrence Cruz said that majority of the bodies were recovered in areas that were hit by roof-deep floods. He said that the residents never expected that the overnight rains in the region would cause flashfloods. Cruz said that areas located in a more elevated portion of the city were also hit by waist-deep floods.

A hailstorm last night affected several farms in southern Brazil. In the major grapevine region of Brazil, about 80% of the crop was lost in 20 minutes of hail. Fruit farms were also affected, losing the whole production of peach and other seasonal fruits. Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states are also the bigger tobacco producers in Brazil, and were hardly damaged. Growers from an important region had done two harvests so far, and more 4 – 5 was up to start in the next following days, but was totally damaged by the hail. Some soybean and corn crops were also damaged in the west of Santa Catarina state, and north of RS. Those are not such expressive areas, but these regions are also suffering with drought.
